Uncloudful sweater was born from a desire for a timeless elegant wardrobe staple perfect for any occasion. A fluffy weightless hug of a sweater that you don’t want to take off and that goes with everything in the wardrobe. Hence the name - Uncloudful - undoubtful which sweater to pick to wear and light as a cloud.

It is an oversized garment with a drop shoulder construction and customisable sleeve and body length. Thanks to its big gauge it works up in no time and is a fun knit to make in various colours and yarn combinations.
